Vámanos vs Vamos vs Vayamos

Does “Vámanos” fit in here? I have heard it used but don’t really understand the reasoning behind it. Is it another informal command for “Let’s go” to ourselves, like “Vamos”, or is it from the verb “Irse”? Sorry, I know it is not part of this lesson you are teaching but I have been curious about it.

Siente que su grado de veterinaria no le llenaHola Inma, The translation provided gave this as "she feels that her veterinary degree does not fulfil her." I know that there are other verbs which function in this way, where an indirect object is used instead of a direct object. I think this is the case with pedir, decir, preguntar for example, where the direct object is implied as communicating "something ... to another person." Thus in my above question is it that "No le llena" implies that her degree does not fulfil "something" in her. Is there a lesson about this, or is there a way of recognising these verbs, or do we learn them as we go? I hope this makes sense. Saludos John

Previous questionApologies Inma - in the previous question I should have removed the second part of the question [about using the pronominal].

Mudar or Mudarse or Trasladar(se)

Hola Inma,

Two questions

1. Could "trasladar" be used instead of mudar?

2. Since the subject of the story has taken a decision to move [herself] to another city, would the pronominal form mudarse / trasladarse be appropriate?

Saludos

John

Achieving fluency is possible here.

This is not hyperbole.
I have had much experience with more than 10 other language learning websites and I can testify to the fact that this is the only one that makes fluency an achievable

goal for language lovers.

Why 2 conjugations

Why are there 2 conjugations for El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo? Are they interchangeable? Do native speakers use both equally, or is one used much more than the other?

Technical glitch...... lesson duplicated under wrong heading

Using tan ... como = as ... as (comparatives with adjectives and adverbs)

The link in the list of A2 lessons leads to a duplicate of TANTO COMO..... +NOUNS/VERBS

maybe not for everybody but it does for me

Polite request why use podrías rather than podría

If it is a polite request, why use the tú form rather than the usted form?
